Chapter 521: Chapter 337: Arrival! You’re Using the Netherworld to Scheme Against the Master of the Nine Netherworld? (Double-Length Chapter)

The Ancient Saint within the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs was still struggling, unable to communicate...

He lifted his head, gazing at the grand cosmos that had transformed into ancient stars, gazing at the myriad creatures in harmony, gazing at Zhang Xuelan, who seemed to be the remnants of the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor’s spirit,

gazing at the Original Human Ancestor’s body buried in the Land of Great Treasure.

In a sense, that was his own True Self.

Zhang Fusheng was in no hurry to unearth it — that was a backup plan left by Wa for him.

"Continue to nurture and nourish it."

He sighed softly, recalling the True Self.

......

Starship.

"Sister Duo’er, don’t be angry, don’t be angry."

In the dining room, Cui Wending consoled:

"That Dao-named person is just a country boy, wearing coarse hemp clothes and straw sandals, with a straw hat made of straw. He’s from the Golden Province, so it’s normal he doesn’t know the etiquette... After all, he’s an outsider!"

"Angry?"

Cui Liuduo took a spoonful of thick soup made from the Marvelous Medicine of Heaven and Earth into her mouth, her pores relaxing, her body at ease.

She calmly said:

"I wouldn’t get angry over such a small matter. Moreover, this hemp-clad guy is not simple."

Cui Wending was slightly stunned:

"Not simple? Why do you say that?"

Cui Liuduo raised her long, snow-white neck, a hint of curiosity flashing across her face:

"I thought about it again, how could our great-grandfather so casually let an outsider take the place of Cui Honghu and Cui Qianyuan, representing them in the Ten Hope Contest?"

"Moreover..."

Cui Liuduo raised her eyebrows:

"Previously, when I returned to the cabin several times, I stayed for a total of one hour, and during that hour, the clan elder looked at me seven times."

"But he looked at the one called Daoist Venerable thirty-three times."

Cui Wending was shocked and suddenly had a thought:

"Sister Duo’er, do you think this Dao-named person could be our Cui Family’s trump card, the ace up our sleeve?"

"Trump card?"

Cui Liuduo first snorted coldly, then fell silent.

She, being nurtured with resources by the Cui Family and recognized as the first prodigy of the contemporary Cui Family, was certainly no fool,

All signs indicated that this guy might indeed be the Cui Family’s ace.

Maybe he had been kept hidden, reserved for the Ten Hope Contest.

However.

Cui Liuduo raised her slender neck again and quietly spoke:

"Among my peers, I’ve never been surpassed."

"Even if that person is truly our Cui Family’s meticulously hidden trump card, indeed surpassing me now, I am confident that I can outshine him."

Cui Wending stared dumbfounded at his spirited Sister Duo’er.

The diner’s door suddenly rose, 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The two glanced sideways to see the young man in coarse hemp clothing entering with a girl named Yutu, who had an immortal-like aura,

The clan elder and Cui Wenda followed alongside.

"We’re almost at the Capital."

The clan elder chuckled and said:

"That pot of Hundred Marvels Soup should be ready... Everyone, come have a taste; a little preparation before the battle might not be useless!"

He gave a couple of instructions, and soon the servants brought a small pot of medicinal soup to the table.

"Hundred Marvels Soup!"

The clan elder smiled:

"It’s made from a hundred kinds of precious Marvelous Medicines of Heaven and Earth, boiled together. Just this small pot is enough to buy three or four cities and their lands!"

Zhang Fusheng sat down with Ruan Yutu in the spacious ship’s dining room, eying the small pot of Hundred Marvels Soup.

Even he couldn’t help but admire the depth of the Cui Family’s resources.

Over a hundred Heaven and Earth Marvelous Medicines.

These marvels of the heavens and earth are hard to come by; on his journey, he had only encountered two types,

one being the Qi and Blood Marvelous Medicine from before, and the other being Shi Zhengyuan’s White Bone Lotus Seed that could enhance spiritual accumulation by a hundred years—and they were both low-grade Marvelous Medicines.

This pot of soup was made entirely of top-grade ones.

One portion of top-grade Marvelous Medicine is worth a hundred of the low-grade.

"Come, come, share the soup, share the soup!" The clan elder cheerfully divided the small pot of soup into five portions, just enough for each of the five ’youngsters’ to have a bowl.

As for himself, he didn’t take even a sip.

Cui Wending couldn’t help but glance at the girl named Yutu, but held back his words,

refraining from asking why this girl also received a bowl — he didn’t want to offend people for no reason!

Besides, the girl was truly stunning...

Shaking his head, Cui Wending cautiously picked up his bowl, took a sip, and was momentarily struck,

his limbs and bones were instantly cleared, warmth rushing from his toes to his head, strengthening his Essence, Qi, and Spirit!

Before he could take another sip, he heard a loud ’thud’ and instinctively turned to see,

It was the youth in hemp clothes, having placed the empty small bowl on the table.

He had finished it all in one go.

"Wasteful..." Cui Wending muttered, then realized something was off.

After just a sip, he felt as if he could ascend like an immortal,

yet that Dao-named person drank a whole bowl and seemed unaffected??

Beside him, Cui Liuduo noticed it too, her pupils contracting slightly.

The dining room fell into silence.

After some time, everyone finished their portions of the Hundred Marvels Soup,

The clan elder coughed and softly said:

"In at most half an hour, we’ll reach the Capital – arriving just as night falls, so everyone please be cautious."

After a pause, his expression turned serious:

"After nightfall, don’t wander the streets, especially in the lower two-thousand-zhang region."

Lower two-thousand zhang?

Zhang Fusheng was puzzled, what does this descriptor mean?

His confusion just emerged, and Cause and Effect resonated, the world provided the answer.

Zhang Fusheng suddenly understood: the Capital was a city spiral-built on a massive columniform structure,

measuring eight thousand zhang from bottom to top.

Thus, the Capital is divided into zones by thousand-zhang increments, including the floating islands on the sides of the column above eight thousand zhang, totaling nine zones.
